CREATIVE EMBROIDERY
Be sure zigzag presser foot and zigzag needle plate are in glace
le satin stitch (Fig. 24) which is really just a very
short zigzag stitch and the basis for most embroidery, is
obtained by setting stitch length control (see page 9)
as near 0 as possible without stopping the feeding action
and zigzag width at. 5, (Fig. 23).
To stitch continuously at one width of zigzag stitching, set
Th(
'/I mt
zigzag width stop (B. Fig. 23) to chosen stitch width number.
With the machine set for a short stitch length, different
designs can be made by turning the zigzag width control
knob bock and forth between 0 and 5 or any other
combination of widths. Try setting the stop (B, Fig. 23)
at I and various other numbers.
Set a rhythm for yourself and then proceed. After
a while you will become quite skillful, varying your designs
by the speed of the machine, stitch length, and manipulation
of the zigzag control knob.
